Hi, I'm back. What is glow? As in glow plug, glow engine, glow model. Is it a brand? Is it a professional wrestling promotion on the comeback trail? Does it serve also as a night light? Thanks again.

lol there ya go =P

glow motors are basically nitro powered. They use a glow plug to start the process and then spontanious combustion to keep the motor going rather than a magneto and a spark plug to run. Diesel is also glow powered, but I don't think you'll find much of that in RC.
